TAYRON POLEQUAPTEWA (HOPI)

“I just love carving. I have little visualizations of them and I’ll wonder what they look like and I’ll try it. I’m very particular; if I don’t like the doll I’ll take it apart and start the doll all over…i still take part in the Native American dances, and when we get all dressed up in our regalia to dance. I love kind of switching my look up, which is something I do with my dolls as well. Every year I try to do something different, so I’m really excited about this year’s market.”
